Chapter 208 Is Dong Zhuo still useful?

It was a dark and windy night. Li Ru pointed at the scattered troops and said with a wry smile, "Father-in-law, do you think these chaotic troops can stop Ye Feng?"

"He is already very close to the realm of a God General, and I'm afraid he has already rushed towards the commander's flag."

"Once he gets here, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave even if I want to!"

Dong Zhuo looked at the Xiliang cavalry who were like headless flies, with despair in his eyes.

"Are we going to send more than 100,000 troops to Ye Feng like this?"

"With this new force, Ye Feng will be invincible!"

Li Ru looked at the situation on the battlefield and said, "Father-in-law, flee to the south!"

"south?"

Li Ru nodded: "There are traps in front and pursuers behind. If we continue to stay in such a narrow place, we will be completely surrounded and annihilated."

"Now we can only head south to attract Ye Feng's attention. If someone else can escape, it will also weaken Ye Feng's power."

While Dong Zhuo was still hesitating, the Western Liang army collapsed faster than expected.

Especially when Zhao Yun saw the chaos in the rear army, he turned his horse around and led his personal soldiers to rush towards the general's flag.

When he saw the general's flag was only a hundred feet away from him, Zhao Yun shouted excitedly: "Dong Zhuo, old villain, Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here, why don't you surrender quickly?"

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!!"

“A hundred birds are paying homage to the phoenix!!”

The Longdan silver spear swept out, and countless birds flew out from the tip of the spear.

The sound of hundreds of birds chirping made the eardrums of the hundreds of Xiliang soldiers in front of them buzz and their heads dizzy.

There was no time to react. They only felt a flash of silver light, a pain in their chest, and a strong force piercing their heart. Every Xiliang soldier opened his eyes wide, filled with fear and terror, but it was too late.

His vision went dark and he fell to the ground.

Dong Zhuo, who was still hesitating, saw the power of Zhao Yun's attack, so how could he dare to waste any more time?

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Pass my order, the entire army will break through to the south!"

"Stop Zhao Yun quickly!!"

After a few orders, Dong Zhuo tried to hide in the crowd, but Li Ru stopped him and said, "Father-in-law, please change into ordinary soldier's clothes and head north."

"Escape from the banks of the Luo River toward Luoyang."

"If we make a feint to the east and attack in the west, there is a glimmer of hope. Going south is a dead end!"

Dong Zhuo was startled, then nodded frantically: "Don't call too many people, let's flee north."

Countless soldiers from Xiliang fled southward. This scene made Zhao Yun, who was about to reach the general's flag, frown. After a moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Feint to the east and attack in the west, but this trick may fool others, how can it fool me?"

"My soldiers, listen up! Chase north and kill all those who flee without mercy. No one who escapes will be spared!"

"Walk!!"

As soon as the order was given, a huge green dragon roared over from the opposite side.

Wherever the green light went, the Xiliang soldiers were unable to resist and fell to the ground in large numbers, with blood and corpses floating in the air.

Zhao Yun's eyes sparkled: "You're coming so fast!"

"He can't take the credit for this."

"Yun Chang, I'm leaving first!"

"Walk!!"

Just as the Night-Shining Jade Lion ran a few feet, Guan Yu’s shout rang out.

"Zilong, wait a minute!!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yun subconsciously stopped his horse, looked at the crowd in confusion, and said with a smile: "Yun Chang, you have already made many contributions at Hulao Pass. Do you want to compete with me for the credit of capturing Dong Zhuo?"

"This is a bit unkind!"

"You chased the army, so let me take the credit!"

Guan Yu came galloping over on his warhorse: "Zilong, slow down, I have an order from my lord!"

"Hmm?" Zhao Yun, who was about to leave, stopped and asked, "My lord's order?"

"What order?"

Guan Yu rode forward quickly and lowered his voice: "You are not allowed to chase north!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yun was stunned, with a look of confusion in his eyes: "East, West, South, and North, Dong Zhuo has no other way out except to go to Luoyang from the north and then retreat to Hangu Pass. Why did they let Dong Zhuo go when they knew they could kill him?"

"Yun Chang, is this really the Lord's order?"

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Do you still doubt my loyalty?"

Zhao Yun was embarrassed and shook his head, saying: "It's not that I doubt your loyalty, it's really this..."

Guan Yu lowered his voice and asked: "Once Dong Zhuo is dead, what will happen to the emperor of Luoyang City?"

"Although this child emperor is not legitimate, he is still the emperor after all. Whether he is killed or imprisoned, it will only give the princes an excuse to join forces."

"Although my lord is not afraid of the encirclement and suppression by the princes, the most casualties in every war are ordinary soldiers. Every time one more person dies, China's national defense will be weakened a little bit."

"My lord, you want to establish an unprecedented prosperous era. How can you waste your military strength in vain?"

"Dong Zhuo is still useful. At least until he can gain a foothold south of the Yellow River, he is still somewhat useful."

"So he can't die here."

"If I really have to die, it has to be the one in the palace"

Zhao Yun's eyes sparkled, and he suddenly realized: "I understand!"

"Let this old thief live a few more days."

"It's a pity that such a great contribution of mine was wasted."

Guan Yu pointed at the general's flag not far away and said: "Killing the general and seizing the flag is enough to show your bravery. Isn't that enough?"

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Give me the general's flag?"

Guan Yu shook his head: "I'm not giving it to you, but my internal injuries haven't healed yet."

"This is not going to be a big deal!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you so much, Yunchang!"

"Soldiers, listen up! Kill the general and seize the flag!"

"Follow me!!"

At Zhao Yun's command, more than a thousand people responded and rushed towards the general's flag.

The generals' flags were all Dong Zhuo's confidants. Although Dong Zhuo had fled, these death squads still did not disband. They still hoped to buy more time for Dong Zhuo.

But when Zhao Yun and his personal guards came to attack, how could these death warriors stop them?
In just a few minutes, more than a thousand people fell in a pool of blood, and the blood dyed the entire land red. Zhao Yun stood on his horse with his spear in hand and shouted loudly: "Who else wants to stop me from cutting down this flag?"

"stand out."

His voice was like thunder and his figure was like a god of war, making the surrounding Xiliang soldiers dare not look up at him.

Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Yun tightly grasped the Longdan silver spear and threw it with all his strength. The silver spear drew a graceful arc in the air.

Like lightning, it passed through the general's flag.

The huge "Dong" character flag slowly fell.

Zhao Yun rushed forward and raised the big banner with the word "Dong" on it: "Who else dares to resist?"

"Don't put down your weapons yet."

As the commander's flag fell, the already collapsed morale became even lower, and the voices of resistance became smaller and smaller.

More than ten miles away, Dong Zhuo and his entourage had just fled into the mountains when they heard the shouting and killing sounds coming to an end.

Everyone was stunned. When the voice of "I surrender" was heard, everyone's face was filled with sighs and bitterness.

Dong Zhuo looked towards the battlefield, his eyes bloodshot: "Ye Feng, I cannot coexist with you!"

"One day I will grind you to dust!"

After he finished speaking, his blood boiled.

"Puff!" Dong Zhuo spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body softened and fell towards his horse.
